The local area is called Argolida.
It has a very picturesque landscape and also the richest
area of Greece for archaeological sites, over 100 within
50 km! You will be flying over some of the sites and
will be passing many others.
The valleys where we stay are surrounded by orange groves
and you'll be able to pick up oranges on your walks
(the best you will ever taste!)
Epidavros:
Epidavros is
a quaint old fishing village in the Peloponnese situated
in the S/E of Greece 2 hours
from Athens Airport.
The village has been developed by tourism but not spoiled, its income
comes mainly from the orange and olives trees.
It
was a very important town until 500 years B.C., when
part of it sank under the sea. The ruins still in
very good conditions are visible from the air when landing
at one of our flying sites. They are easily reached by
taking the canoes and the snorkelling gear (2 meter deep).
Accommodation:
You will stay in an air conditioned 3
star hotel
right by the sea. It's really nice and quiet with
no roads near by.
The hotel has
a large outdoor grassy terrace with a beach bar/restaurant.
It is ideal and very safe for the kids who can
play on their own.
You can walk bare feet from your bedroom to
go for a swim in the sea or have your breakfast
on the beach by just walking across the lawn.

The beach is also used as the
landing for one of your site, so you can order
your drink while still in your harness and the
non-flyers can be sitting at the bar, watching
the pilots coming to land..
The lawn in front of
the hotel is perfect for packing the glider.
It is a 20 minute walk to the village or 10 minutes
with one of our bikes. You can even borrow one
of the canoes and paddle to the harbour (30')!
